I need your guys opinions. so I've got a dashcam hardwired to my car. I had to bring it to a shop today, first time going there, but my dad has been going here for years. (this was for my brakes.) so, there was an issue. (for those unfamiliar, see my thread here and listen to the noise my brakes were making:

guy greased everything up, claimed it's good to go, that it just needed grease. I get there, cars still making the noise even louder than ever. I go wtf, go back inside and say, hey guys, it's still making the noise. so they come listen and they're like oh wow I didnt' hear that before (BS because it's REALLY loud.) so they grab it and put it right up on the lift in front of me and he goes and does something with the piston, and it still makes the noise. took a scope and they listened, said it's inside the caliper, so I need a new one. fine, no big deal, but I already paid them 55 bucks for labor to grease everything...so he's like no big, you'll just pay the 130 for the caliper, and no labor, and bring it back tomorrow, so i'm like ok no problem.
get home, watch the dashcam out of curiosity...the dude drove the car for about a mile with hardly any stops in there ( I assume he was taking it out to listen for the noise) and then he started blasting what I had on my usb stick...which was megadeth. so the dudes blasting megadeth (heavy metal FFS) and driving a long way, so how the hell are you supposed to hear the noise!?
then...he drives into a Roy Rogers drive through and orders himself lunch, including a drink. LIKE, REALLY?! you're taking a customers car out to go pick up lunch!? nah, I don't like that one bit. at all. I don't even eat in my own car, you sure as **** aren't getting food in it.
thing is, the dude took it out for another drive like an hour later, too. so I have no idea if he was even listening for anything those times since he had music on, or he was just joyriding in my car.
how would you all feel about this? majority of people I know are saying they'd be pissed as hell and would bring it up, and one is just saying it's no big deal (weird thing is that dude owns a stang too...hmm..)
my plan is to bring it up after they do the work and right before I pay tomorrow, since I have to bring it back to get fixed properly anyway.
so how would you all feel if a mechanic went and took your stang out and got food in it?
